#17. I was always afraid to do so, especially in high school.😀
#24 Mom always defeated me when I challenged her to tennis. 😉

RULES TO TEACH YOUR SON /DAUGHTER 

1. Never shake a man’s hand sitting down. ✔️ 
2. Don’t enter a pool by the stairs. (Unless you're older than 60)
3. The man at the BBQ Grill is the closest thing to a king. 👍 🤴 
4. In a negotiation, never make the first offer. Blackjack Stand when your hand is 12-16 when the dealer has 2-6. 
5. Request the late check-out. Why not ?
6. When entrusted with a secret, keep it. Children do better, than adults. 
7. Hold your heroes to a higher standard. 💯 
8. Return a borrowed car with a full tank of gas. Without question.
9. Play with passion or don’t play at all. On the floor for loose balls 🏀,  run full speed to 1sr base on ground balls, ..
10. When shaking hands, grip firmly and look them in the eye. ✔️ 
11. Don’t let a wishbone grow where a backbone should be.  New one, but good one
12. If you need music on the beach, you’re missing the point. ⛱️  🏄‍♂️ 🌙 
13. Carry two handkerchiefs. The one in your back pocket is for you. The one in your breast pocket is for her. Very very wise.
14. You marry the girl, you marry her family. Ugh
15. Be like a duck. Remain calm on the surface and paddle like crazy underneath 🤔 🤔 
16. Experience the serenity of traveling alone. Your choice of tunes,  turn up the volume. 
17. Never be afraid to ask out the best looking girl in the room. 🤔 GO FOR IT !!
18. Never turn down a breath mint. I GUESS
19. A sport coat is worth 1000 words. For a young lady, a pretty fashionable skirt.
20. Try writing your own eulogy. Never stop revising. Keep it 5 minutes or less, don't bore your friends or family with a litany of events.
21. Thank a veteran. Then make it up to him. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 
22. Eat lunch with the new kid. ✔️ ✔️  and again , and again. 
23. After writing an angry email, read it carefully. Then delete it. 🤔 🤔 
24. Ask your mom to play. She won’t let you win. 🎾 🏓  She didn't. 
25. Manners maketh the man. Yes ma'am,  thank you ma'am,  after you.
26. Give credit. Take the blame. 👏 👏. Sorry,  my fault.
27. Stand up to Bullies. Protect those bullied. 
28. Write down your dreams. 🖊 🖋 ☁️ 😶‍🌫️ 
29. Take time to snuggle your pets, they love you so much and are always happy to see you. ✔️ 
30. Be confident and humble at the same time. 
31. If ever in doubt, remember whose son you are and REFUSE to just be ordinary!  
32. In all things, give glory to God.

32a.) Always look to get it inside to the big guy first. ALWAYS !!
